Chapter 409: Ambush
After this conversation, Victor felt quite optimistic about his prospects in gaining control over these Christians in the struggle against the Papal States. After all, compared to Bishop Torres, he had far more resources at his disposal. It was similar to how France faced the Papal States.
Currently, the most crucial matter at hand was the distribution of land. While Bishop Torres wished to quickly allocate the land, Victor was not in a ...

Chapter 408: Means of Winning Hearts
Back at their residence, after completing the remaining tasks, Bishop Torres knelt before the small shrine in his bedroom, devoutly confessing to the image of Christ:
"Lord, I have sinned, I repent before You..."
Having sincerely confessed his sins, Bishop Torres lay on his bed with a clear conscience, still calculating how much he had earned in the recent deal. However, he was indeed too exhausted, and before long, he entered a deep sl...

Chapter 407: A Triple Win
As Viktor concluded his words, Bishop Torres gracefully bowed to Pasha Benharden. Acknowledging that Benharden was a non-believer, the Bishop tactfully omitted religious phrases like "May God be with you" from his greetings. Despite earlier referring to Viktor as an "evil infidel" and a "snake spewing venom" when conversing with Pasha Benharden, Bishop Torres maintained a polite demeanor when facing the real person.
However, Pasha ...

Chapter 406: Representative of the Holy See
Regarding Pasha Benharden's proposal, Victor shook his head.
"Respected Pasha, I believe it's best to leave the matter of identification to us. After all, we share a more consistent faith with them."
However, Pasha Benharden hesitated slightly at this proposal. Because slaves equated to wealth, more slaves meant more wealth. The...

Chapter 430: Nuclear Destruction Zone, Wiping Out the Expedition with One Strike!
The horrifying nuclear explosion continued for over an hour before gradually subsiding. The entire ten-kilometer diameter area turned into a scorched earth, with the soil melting at high temperatures, gradually cooling, and solidifying into glass-like substances. The dust cloud in the sky lingered for a long time.
With the river water as a barrier, Lynn, along with the councilors, emerge...

In Lynn's mind, the biblical passage about hell surfaced, one part of which was the skinning purgatory used to punish the gravest sinners.
These monstrous beings in front of them were the executioners, their faces bloody with faintly visible orifices—eyes, nostrils, and mouths.
Their bodies contorted, as if their skin had been ripped off, leaving only bloody muscles and bones. They held execu...

The distance to Istanbul is a bit farther, and since they don't have telegrams, Sultan Selim III got the news of the recapture of Tripoli by the invincible Turkish army a bit later than the European countries like France. However, when dispatching the expeditionary force, they had already decided who would rule Tripoli once it was captured. So, in reality, the Turks acted faster than the French and the Vatican.
Nevertheless, the Turks di...

Apart from grenades, the French had another new weapon—grenade launchers.
The so-called grenade launcher was essentially an ultralight mortar. It was compact, even lighter than a rifle, and didn't require much space in the equipment inventory. More importantly, this thing had a simple structure and was inexpensive to manufacture. In the future, during the resistance against Japanese invasion, the impoverished imperialist armies would ...

Although the naval mines didn't work, the pirates' act of setting fire themselves played a significant role. So now, the French explicitly state that counting on incendiary bombs is futile. Currently, they can only support the Turkish landing operations with solid cannonballs.
As a result, the Turks have no choice but to rely on a direct assault. Confidently, they advance, only to quickly retreat under the barrage of pirate cannons and ri...
